To recover back to the DPM Server (i.e. to get the DPM 'savesets' back into DPM) then you need only install on, and have a license for, the DPM Server.
In order to recover individual files directly back to the original client system that DPM is protecting, you would also need an installation and a license on that client. (Note that this is raw files -- you cannot recover things like Exchange databases back to the original client.)
Elaine, we are not talking about DPA (ex EBA), but DPM. This is MS backup tool which can't backup itself so NMM is backing up its database and repository. (sounds funny)
I didn't do it, but my understanding is that you need NW client on DPN server only since that's where DPN data which is backed up should be, right? AFAIK, staging and cloning is still not possible.
I read in release notes for NW7.5 in page 15 that cloning and staging issues have been resolved in this release. But in Admin guide for NMM2.1 it is still mentionned that staging and cloning are not supported.
You said that we do not need to install networker on clients backed up by DPM, but in the recovery of NMM it is asked to install it.
Now we are at the solution dimensionning stage of the solution. so, we have to know how many client licenses to buy that is why I asked wether we need licenses for clients backed up by DPM. thanks
Indeed, those two are mentioned as fixed/addressed in 7.5. Not sure why NMM docs were not updated then. The best way to see this is to test it.
As for restore, docs say: "Recovery of DPM Server can include recovery of the DPM configuration database, or recovery of missing replicas in their entirety to their original locations. NMM also supports granular file recoveries of replica data to the DPM-protected client or to the DMP server." So, if your restore is such that data being restored is outside DPM server (like replica) to the client then obviously you will need client software for that too. It all comes down to what you backup and where do you restore it.
